A video appeared on social networks showing Ukrainian military personnel shooting down the Lancet drone of the Russian army.

The footage shows at least one soldier armed with an automatic weapon and a Soviet ZU-23 automatic cannon firing into the sky at the killer drone.

Eventually, their projectiles manage to hit their target and the Lancet can be seen exploding, the detonation of the drone’s warhead very noticeable.

“Bitch!” shouted one of the Ukrainian soldiers, and the abuse was followed by shouts of joy. “Suka” (“Curvo” or “Nenorocito”) is a word that can be heard in several videos of the actions of the Ukrainian military, often used after a successful hit.

It is noted that the soldiers are from the 28th Ukrainian mechanized brigade, and the image is from the Bakhmut district.
